Maryland

In the A True Book: My United States series, children learn what makes each of the fifty U.S. states distinctive and exceptional. In Maryland they will travel throughout one of the U.S.’s smallest states to explore the geography, plants, animals, cities, and towns, and find out what it is like to live there, what people like to eat, what kinds of jobs are common, even the historic sites throughout the state. They will also learn about Maryland’s history, find out how the state is governed, and see what role it plays in the U.S. economy. A thorough resource section at the end encourages independent study. 48 pages, softcover. Grades 3 – 5.
